Mathieu Plourde on 06 Jan 14"Of the seven groups identified, two polar opposites were the "disengaged" and the "maximizers." The average disengaged student scored well below the mean on all engagement measures, while the typical maximizer was well above average across the board. As a result, disengaged students showed significantly lower gains than maximizers on the four WNSLAE outcomes examined and had lower first-year GPAs, perceived learning gains, and persistence to the second year than their most-engaged peers."
